It Takes Three: Multigenerational Support in Rural Families

May 25th 2022 at 1pm PST/ 2pm MST/ 3pm CST / 4pm EST

 

Melissa Barnett, PhD presents...

Many rural families, especially those experiencing economic adversity, rely on their extended families for critical support related to financial, health, elder and child care needs.  Multigenerational support is both a potential source of resilience and risk as families balance the needs of multiple generations. Together, participants and presenters will brainstorm strategies to incorporate the roles of multigenerational support in programs that serve rural family members of all ages.
